In a patch of round pumpkins, one stood square,
Different and unique, but beyond compare.
It inspired others to embrace what makes them distinct,
For in being true to ourselves, we find strength to coexist.

What do you listen to while you work?

I usually like to listen to classical music when I need to focus, but other times, I enjoy listening to a variety of genres, depending on my mood. Music can really make a difference in my workday.
-M.A.D.

In every language, in every land,
Love is a language we all understand.
It comes in many forms, in many ways,
And in our hearts, it forever stays.
–
First, there is the love of a mother,
Pure and unconditional, like no other.
It comforts us when we are in pain,
And guides us through sunshine and rain.
–
Then there is the love of a father,
Strong and protective, like a sturdy anchor.
He teaches us to stand tall and strong,
And to always right the wrong.
–
Next, there is the love of a friend,
A bond that will never bend.
They laugh with us, and wipe our tears,
And stay by our side through the years.
–
Romantic love, passionate and wild,
Makes us feel like we’re flying, not mild.
It fills us with butterflies and glee,
And sets our hearts and souls free.
–
Family love, blood is not the key,
For love knows no boundaries, it’s plain to see.
They are the ones who know us best,
And love us unconditionally, above the rest.
–
Self-love, often forgotten or ignored,
But it’s the most important, that’s for sure.
It’s learning to accept ourselves, flaws and all,
And standing tall, even when we fall.
–
Love for nature, for all living things,
For the beauty that the world brings.
Gentle and nurturing, it reminds us to care,
And always to be kind and fair.
–
Last but not least, there is love for life,
For all its ups and downs, the joy and the strife.
It teaches us lessons, and gives us a chance,
To spread love and happiness, with every glance.
–
So let us celebrate all the types of love,
Sent from the heavens, from the powers above.
For it’s what makes us human, what makes us whole,
And fills our hearts with a fire, a burning coal.

CHEER
APPLAUD
BOO

Cheer for the stars that light up the night,
Applaud the sun for its warm, golden light,
Boo to the storms that disrupt our delight,
In every moment, let’s make our spirits bright.

I won’t get up on Saturdays
Snooze the alarm in many ways
Can’t get out of bed
Comfortable bedspread
Soft and warm
So, I stay

What’s your go-to comfort food?

My go-to comfort food is cheesecake. There’s something so comforting about the creamy texture and sweet flavor of a perfectly made cheesecake. Whether it’s a classic New York style cheesecake or a creative flavor like strawberry swirl or salted caramel, I always find myself reaching for a slice when I need a bit of indulgence and relaxation.

Really a tantrum
Over things you can’t change
Not a child
But you are acting like one
Over something silly
Oh, the frustration
-M.A.D.

What are boundaries?
The need to have them
are needed now
–
The first step
think of what you want
speak about it
–
Now enforce it
Then do not back down
Always keep them
–
You’ll be tested
Every day but hold strong and
dont give up
–
Benifits will come
Now you will be happy
so continue on
–
Each day easier
Your new self will emerge
a new you
-M.A.D.

In Sesame Street, there’s a furry blue beast,
Eating cookies, he never seized,
Cookie Monster is his name,
Satisfying his sweet tooth is his game.

Don’t try to trick me
I have seen it all before
This game you won’t win
As I truly know the score
So, please, don’t play me, like that…

Oh, the Frustration
While driving many thoughts come
Nowhere to put them
Deep inside, I feel so dumb
I wish I could reverse time…

Foolish antics bloom,
Laughter echoes in the air,
Silliness takes hold.
An eruption of giggles.
Suddenly, you’re six again…

Driven to succeed,
Each step forward a challenge,
Competition fierce.
Inspired, by adversity.
Motivated to the best…

I love to play games, so I just I’m going to create a list of all my favorite games I like to play.
Card Games
Board games
Video Games
There are many more that I like to play, but I feel that these are the main ones, and to be honest, I probably forgot a few.
